He keeps tenderly assuring her he wants to stay together, that he loves her, and she tells him she's looking for a place to move out on her own. I'm crushed by her doing this to him. The one suffering from CTSD tends to be an abuser. She isn't ready to ask for help. She isn't in the first phase of safe/stability. I have met to talk with her a couple of times. I just don't know how often I could call her or meet with her. Once a week, every 3-4 days?
I am sorry this is happening to your son, you must be worried for your grandchild as well. Can't blame your great concern. From your other posts I was confused, did not know if you were the husband, or the one struggling with the complex PTSD.

Are you also a therapist? Is your husband's wife comfortable talking to you?
